At Sanity.io we’re building the future of AI-powered Content Operations. Our AI Content Operating System gives teams the freedom to model, create, and automate content the way their business works, accelerating digital development and supercharging content operations efficiency. Companies like SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, COMPLEX, Nordstrom, and Morningbrew are using Sanity to power and automate their content operations.

We are looking for a Head of FP&A & Strategic Finance to translate complex business dynamics into action. This is a role for a strategic partner who views financial planning, business data, and partnering as levers for faster, better decision-making. You will actively shape resource allocation, performance measurement, and our long-term strategy.

What you would do

You’ll be obsessed with building financial systems that provide leverage, not just reporting. You will use automation and modern tooling to build a high-impact, scalable FP&A function.

Planning & Forecasting

• Own the annual operating plan and rolling forecast processes end to end

• Build and maintain the financial model that gives leadership a clear picture of the business at any point in time

• Turn monthly actuals into actionable insight rather than just variance explanations

• Develop scenario models that help the company evaluate strategic decisions

• Translate business strategy into financial frameworks (headcount, capacity, unit economics).

Business Partnering

• Act as a trusted finance partner to GTM, Product, and G&A leaders—helping them understand their numbers and make better resource decisions

• Partner with Revenue Operations to align our ARR reporting, booking metrics, and sales productivity metrics into a single source of truth

• Push back when plans don't add up and advocate for decisions grounded in data

Infrastructure & Tooling

• Build the systems and processes that make FP&A reliable and scalable—not dependent on heroics every close cycle

• Drive adoption of modern FP&A tooling and establish clean integrations between our financial systems (ERP, CRM, data warehouse)

• Create self-service reporting that gives business leaders direct access to the numbers they need, without routing everything through Finance

About you

You bring more than 10 years in FP&A, investment banking, or strategic finance, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role at a high growth company. You can hold the big picture and the details at the same time—fluent in strategy conversations and equally capable of tracking down a discrepancy in a revenue bridge.

In addition, you bring:

• Deep command of SaaS metrics and how they interact

• Track record building financial models that actually get used to make decisions—not just to satisfy process

• Strong communication skills that can translate financial complexity into clear language for non-finance audiences

• High integrity and low ego: you call it like you see it, even when the numbers aren't telling a flattering story

• Bias for action: you move quickly, make decisions with imperfect information, and course-correct rather than wait for perfect data
  
  What we can offer

  • A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team

  • Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth

  • A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers

  • Comprehensive health plans and perks

  • A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs

  • Competitive salary, commissions, bonus, and stock options program
